Amethyst Bracelet × Traditional Chinese Wisdom of "Purple Qi from the East"

[Cultural Origin]

Amethyst is innately regal, its color aligning with the ritualistic thought of "distinction of rank and position" from the I Ching. The growth patterns of its crystals subtly contain:

 • The regulation of "using jade to make six vessels to honor heaven, earth, and the four directions" from the Rites of Zhou.

 • The carefree realm of "the divine person achieves nothing" from Zhuangzi.

The Records of the Grand Historian: Treatise on Celestial Officials records:

"The Purple Palace is the abode of Taiyi."

Characteristics of this stone:

 • Its color is like "the brilliant purple ginseng" (Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica).

 • Its luster resembles "the splendid clouds" (Book of Documents: Great Tradition).

[Essence of the Five Elements]

 • Color: Fire: Corresponding to the Li Hexagram, it signifies propriety and brightness.
